<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Caleb, post: 1861834, member: 32795&quot;]I don’t want to rain on anybody’s parade but what coins do you want to get graded (ie. Morgan dollars, Buffalo nickels, world coins or modern US coinage from 1965 – date)?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Are the coins worth the grading fee(s)?&nbsp; Some coins are not unless you have a reason for it, to me unless the coin has a value of at least $150 why pay a grading fee?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If either NGC or PCGS is acceptable to you, an ANA membership gets you submitting privileges to NGC.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do you have any local shows in your area that you can attend?&nbsp; If so, ask a few dealers if the coins are worth submitting (I mean a 1921 Morgan dollar in VF condition probably isn’t worth the grading fees).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I just sent in a submission of 28 Kennedy half dollars to PCGS and besides the grading fee of $16 each, I had to include the $8 application fee and $33.70 for return postage.&nbsp; The $8 application fee and $33.70 for return postage I figure can be divided over the 28 coins for an average of about $1.50 per coin.&nbsp; I cost around $28 to mail the package to PCGS insured/ registered so that will add another $1.00 to the average cost per coin.&nbsp; When it is all said and done, to get these 28 coins graded and returned will cost me $18.50 per coin from PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
